    Assuming the 9.9 is not electric start You can use either 3 bats (1 for 12V stern, 2 for 24V bow) or just 2 bats (24V set and tap off one for 12V side). Power only last so long so how much time will the motors be used? The basic wiring should run off main feeds to fuse panels such as below...

    3.0 oil coil harness used for electronic ignition

    Not really, the carb is newer but your boat harness is not. There is a TKS carb harness which is added to use the carb correctly. Use it if you want, but it won't work as designed unless things are changed to accommodate. Blue wire goes to oil pressure gauge sender (TKS needs additional oil...

    2003 5.7 L3 50 mag MPI — TDC?

    In most cases the timing chain and gears are in good shape so just aligning the timing mark on the timing chain cover is normally good enough. If there is an issue and it doesn't run correctly, there is a service bulletin With all plugs out you should be able to use the serpentine belt

    3.0 oil coil harness used for electronic ignition

    It sounds like its a Turn Key Start (TKS) carb and while your correct for power and ground, there is more circuity needed to make it work correctly. Many have tossed the carbs because there trouble but others have done ok. This is a simplistic wiring diagram of how its done. The TKS module is...

    2010 Tahoe Q5i 4.3L Mercruiser Carb. No power to ignition switch.

    You need a voltmeter. A test light will light with much less then 12V, it is a good tracer though. Follow the wiring in the diagram. You should see voltage on both sides of the 50 amp breaker and at ignition

    Three battery on a two way switch

    Don't connect series, that makes the output 24V and things will burn up The house would be parallel (treated as one bat) and the start would be by its self. Suggest using an ACR to charge all bats once motor is running. It will do it automatically but still may need a onboard bat charger for...

    Don't know which distributor you have but if its the EST then here is how its tested Have not heard the method of measuring resistance in both directions to determine if its good. This would be acceptable if there was a diode inline, but the distributor does not use one of those that I'm...

    Where To Find Riser Fittings....

    If its 1 inch ID then you have the right size, the older thermostat housing did use larger hoses Did some research and the new ones being sold by Merc look just like the ones you have. The original had more copper in them and the part number was 22-866725
